Date Posted: 05:13:54 01/13/11 Thu The SWIGZ Racing team has famously recorded two podium finishes for their electric superbike, in their first races against gasoline-powered racebikes. Chip Yates took third place in the first WERA Heavyweight Twins Superstock race, going one better with second in the second race of the day. Topping this was Yates recording the fastest lap in the second race at 1:39.792 with a top speed of 158mph. Yates said: “We had to overcome technical difficulties on Saturday but we fixed everything and came back Sunday to score two podiums, a huge top speed, and post competitive gasoline bike lap times with no further technical issues to slow us down. What a humbling experience for our small team to develop and build a superbike that can beat gasoline bikes from the top manufacturers on their own terms - I was nearly brought to tears as I crossed the finish line both times!” [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
